AltocumulusOne-Arm Mode Migration
Sounds ok to me. Just check that the ARP is enabled on the virtual address of the VIP. By default it is, but to be sure please check.
In case you have issues make sure you check the arp table on the firewall and the vip ip is pointing to the right mac address. Probably it be good to check this before you migrate a vip , and record the mac address so you can compare it.
Sri_Narasimha_05 the UCS restore overrides all configuration of the new device when imported last I had to do one with the exception of validating various difference between platforms when you use the platform migrate. You might try a UCS restore on a virtual appliance first in a sandbox to see exactly what happens.

AltocumulusHi Paul,
Many thanks for the assistance provided so far. Though I've got what I needed, I've a question and wanna check in the same forum as it's related and need your guidance please.
Though the VIP is marked as down, it's still responding to Ping and ARP entry is seen. In my case, initially, even though the VIP's would be disabled until migrated to the new pair of F5's, I still need to disable ARP and Ping for that respective VIP (under virtual address list) to avoid duplicate MAC address issue on switches.
Once migrated, similar approach to be followed on the F5 (which were hosting this application before cut-over) for that respective VIP.
Is that correct?
